Costly loss for Al-Hilal
Neymar’s (31) cruciate ligament and meniscus tear while on duty for the national team not only cost his club Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia dearly, but also FIFA. Since the Brazilian was injured while on international duty for a World Association competition, compensation for Neymar’s salary must now be paid to his club. However, given the attacker’s astronomical salary, this will barely cover more than a month.
Die FIFA rules In the case of injuries to the national team, for example in World Cup tournaments, the following states: If a player is out for more than 28 days after the injury, the player’s club will then receive compensation that provides a daily rate for each day on which the player is injured cannot participate. After the 28 days, payments are made for a maximum of 365 days and only up to a maximum amount of 7.5 million dollars (7.1 million euros). According to estimates by Forbes magazine, Neymar is expected to earn the equivalent of more than 100 million euros a year, of which 75 million euros per year is attributable to salary alone. While for the vast majority of professionals in Europe’s top leagues this sum should be enough to cover their entire salary even during a longer period of absence, Al-Hilal would not be able to finance its star for two months with the FIFA compensation.

Shortly after conceding the first goal, Neymar suffered a serious injury before half-time in the 0-2 (0-1) draw against Uruguay on Tuesday evening when he landed incorrectly with his left leg after a running duel with Uruguay’s Nicolás De La Cruz. As he was driven off the pitch, Neymar hid his face with both hands and later left the stadium in Montevideo on crutches. It was only in February that Neymar had an operation on his ankle, which forced him to sit out until the summer. Now the next intervention becomes necessary.
